Abstract
Objective The involvement of the inner ear in otosclerosis may lead to the development of cochlear otosclerosis. The aim of this study was to analyse changes in the chemical composition and microstructure of the stapes in the course of otosclerosis compared to healthy stapes. Materials and methods This analysis included 31 patients with otosclerosis and 9 patients without otosclerosis. Microanalytical and diffraction techniques were used to assess the elemental distribution and orientation topography of the stapes. Results The concentration of Ca2+ in the study group was significantly lower in the area of the anterior crus of the stapes than in the posterior crus. A reduction in the Ca2+/P3+ ratio in the anterior crus was associated with deteriorated bone conduction and tinnitus. Degradation of the stapes microstructure in the area of otosclerotic lesions was observed with scanning electron microscopy. Conclusions Bone remodelling is most significant at the closest location to typical otosclerotic lesions with hydroxyapatite porosity and scale-like bone formation according to scanning electron microscopy. There is a relationship between the disturbance of calcium metabolism and the development of clinical symptoms of cochlear otosclerosis.

Taybeh EO, Naser AY. Hospital Admission Profile Related to Inner Ear Diseases in England and Wales. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:healthcare11101457. [PMID: 37239743 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11101457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to an expansion in the usage of medications (such as anticancer therapies), increased exposure to noise, and an increase in life expectancy, the prevalence of inner ear disease-related hearing loss is rising. Diseases of the inner ear are frequently accompanied by other conditions, such as chronic heart failure, systemic inflammation, arterial hypertension, and cerebrovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the profile of hospital admissions linked to inner ear diseases in England and Wales. METHOD This was an ecological descriptive study using public medical databases in England and Wales. Diagnostic codes for diseases of the inner ear (H80-H83) were used to identify all hospital admissions. Between 1999 and 2020, the chi-squared test was used to assess the difference between the admission rates. RESULTS From 5704 in 1999 to 19,097 in 2020, the total annual number of hospital admissions increased by 234.8%, which corresponds to a 192.3% increase in the admission rate [from 10.94 (95% CI 10.66-11.22) in 1999 to 31.98 (95% CI 31.52-32.43) in 2020 per 100,000 people, p < 0.01]. "Disorders of vestibular function" and "other inner ear diseases" were the most frequent causes of hospital admissions due to inner ear diseases, accounting for 47.6% and 43.6%, respectively. The age range of 15 to 59 years accounted for 42.3% of all diseases of the inner ear hospital admissions. Around 59.6% of all admissions were made by females. The female admission rate increased by 210.1% (from 12.43 (95% CI 12.01-12.85) in 1999 to 38.54 (95% CI 37.84-39.24) in 2020 per 100,000 people). The male admission rate for diseases of the inner ear increased by 169.6% [from 9.37 (95% CI 9.00-9.75) in 1999 to 25.26 (95% CI 24.69-25.84) per 100,000 people] in 2020. CONCLUSION Inner ear disease admissions increased markedly in England and Wales during the past two decades. Females and the middle-aged population were at higher risk of being admitted for inner ear diseases. Further cohort studies are warranted to identify other risk factors and develop effective prevention strategies.

Abstract
Objectives This study aims to explore the relationship between bone-turnover biomarkers and the recovery of SSNHL to provide clues for further improvements in etiological research and predictors. Methods The medical history, hearing thresholds, biomarkers of bone-turnover, and related hormones of 117 SSNHL patients were collected prospectively between August 2018 and December 2021. Linear correlation and logistic regression models were applied to examine the association between bone-turnover biomarkers and the prognosis of SSNHL. Results Age, the incidence of vertigo, pure tone average of the impaired frequencies (PTAimpairedfre), and the levels of bone turnover [including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), β-carboxy terminal crosslinked telopeptide of type 1 collagen (β-CTX), and N-terminal-midfragment of osteocalcin (N-MID)] were higher in the nonresponders than responders (P < 0.05). Logistic regression showed that the age (OR = 1.035, P = 0.027), time to treatment (OR = 1.157, P = 0.038), PTAimpairedfre (OR = 1.031, P = 0.008), and β-CTX (OR = 1.004, P = 0.001) were independent risk factors for the prognosis of SSNHL. In the women SSNHL subgroup, age, postmenopause percentage, PTAimpairedfre, the activity of ALP, levels of β-CTX, and N-MID were significantly higher in the nonresponders than the responders (P < 0.05). Compared to the men SSNHL subgroup, β-CTX has a higher correlation coefficient and predictive efficiency in the women SSNHL subgroup, and logistic regression showed that β-CTX (OR = 1.004, P = 0.004) was an independent risk factor for the women SSNHL. Conclusions Bone-turnover biomarkers are risk factors for poor prognosis in SSNHL, especially β-CTX. The differences were significant in women SSNHL, which may be related to the rapid regression of estrogen after menopause that leads to the occurrence of osteoporosis with a high conversion rate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is a chronic systemic disease characterized by low bone mass, progressive microarchitectural deterioration and increased bone fragility. Hearing loss and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) have been found in patients diagnosed with osteoporosis over 65 years, however, there is lack of information about these conditions in young patients. Herein, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide evidence of the association between osteoporosis and audio-vestibular findings in young subjects. METHODS Systematic review and meta-analysis were performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection. Mean age, proportion of patients with low mineral density, hearing loss, and BPPV were calculated for the systematic review and meta-analysis. Odds Ratio (OR) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. RESULTS A total of 26 articles were reviewed. Only 10 studies met inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Six were assessed pursuing the association between osteoporosis and hearing loss. Pooled evidence suggested in patients with osteoporosis, an increased risk for developing hearing loss (OR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.06-2.19; P = .02) compared to controls. Another 6 studies reported the association between osteoporosis and BPPV. A significant increased risk for BPPV was found in individuals with osteoporosis (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.02-2.4; P = .04). There was no publication bias. CONCLUSION Subjects younger than 65 years with osteoporosis have an increase odds for hearing loss and BPPV compared to controls. These conditions could be associated with early inner or middle ear bone morphologic changes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate Black-White differences associated with hearing loss among older adults living in the United States. METHOD Secondary data analysis was conducted using the 2017 American Community Survey (ACS) with a replication analysis of the 2016 ACS. The ACS is an annual nationally representative survey of Americans living in community settings and institutions. The sample size of older Americans (age 65+ years) in 2017 was 467,789 non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) and 45,105 non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs). In the 2016 ACS, there were 459,692 NHW and 45,990 NHB respondents. Measures of hearing loss, age, race/ethnicity, education level, and household income were based on self-report. Data were weighted to adjust for nonresponse and differential selection probabilities. RESULTS The prevalence of hearing loss was markedly higher among older NHWs (15.4% in both surveys) in comparison with NHBs (9.0% in 2017 and 9.4% in 2016, both ethnic differences p < .001). In the 2017 ACS, the age- and sex-adjusted odds of hearing loss were 69% higher for NHWs compared with NHBs, which increased to 91% higher odds when household income and education level were also taken into account (OR = 1.91; 95% confidence interval [CI; 1.85, 1.97]). Findings from the 2016 ACS were very similar (e.g., 65+ fully adjusted OR = 1.81; 95% CI [1.76, 1.87]). CONCLUSIONS NHWs have a much higher prevalence and almost double the odds of hearing loss compared with NHBs. Unfortunately, the ACS survey does not allow us to explore potential causal mechanisms behind this association.

[PMID: 34028002 PMCID: PMC8595486 DOI: 10.1111/jgs.17275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Revised: 04/21/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis and low bone density (LBD) may be associated with higher risk of hearing loss, but findings are inconsistent and longitudinal data are scarce. Bisphosphonates may influence risk, but the relation has not been studied in humans. We longitudinally investigated associations of osteoporosis and LBD, bisphosphonate use, vertebral fracture (VF), hip fracture (HF), and risk of self-reported moderate or worse hearing loss. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING The Nurses' Health Study (NHS) (1982-2016) and Nurses' Health Study II (NHS II) (1995-2017). PARTICIPANTS Participants included 60,821 NHS women, aged 36-61 years at baseline, and 83,078 NHS II women, aged 31-48 years at baseline (total n = 143,899). MEASUREMENTS Information on osteoporosis, LBD, bisphosphonate use, VF, HF, and hearing status was obtained from validated biennial questionnaires. In a subcohort (n = 3749), objective hearing thresholds were obtained by audiometry. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine independent associations between osteoporosis (NHS), osteoporosis/LBD (NHS II), and risk of hearing loss. RESULTS The multivariable-adjusted relative risk (MVRR, 95% confidence interval) of moderate or worse hearing loss was higher among women with osteoporosis or LBD in both cohorts. In NHS, compared with women without osteoporosis, the MVRR was 1.14 (1.09, 1.19) among women with osteoporosis; in NHS II, the MVRR was 1.30 (1.21, 1.40) among women with osteoporosis/LBD. The magnitude of the elevated risk was similar among women who did and did not use bisphosphonates. VF was associated with higher risk (NHS: 1.31 [1.16, 1.49]; NHS II: 1.39 [1.13, 1.71]), but HF was not (NHS: 1.00 [0.86, 1.16];NHS II: 1.15 [0.75,1.74]). Among participants with audiometric measurements, compared with women without osteoporosis/LBD, the mean multivariable-adjusted hearing thresholds were higher (i.e., worse) among those with osteoporosis/LBD who used bisphosphonates. CONCLUSION Osteoporosis and LBD may be important contributors to aging-related hearing loss. Among women with osteoporosis, the risk of hearing loss was not influenced by bisphosphonate use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The elderly are at increased risk of both hearing loss (HL) and osteoporosis. Bone mineral density (BMD) has been putatively linked to HL. However, the roles of serum calcium concentrations and vitamin D status have yet to be elucidated. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between vitamin D status, parathyroid hormone (PTH), total calcium, BMD, and HL in a nationally representative sample of elderly adults. METHODS Using the NHANES (2005-2010), audiometry and BMD data of 1123 participants aged ≥70 y were analyzed in a cross-sectional manner. HL was defined as pure tone averages >25 dB HL at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz (low frequency); 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz (speech frequency); and 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000 Hz (high frequency) in either ear. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the relation between HL and total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], PTH, total calcium, and BMD, adjusting for covariates. RESULTS In multivariable analyses, total 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL was found to be associated with greater odds of low-frequency HL (OR: 2.02; 95% CI: 1.28, 3.19) and speech-frequency HL (OR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.12, 3.44). A 1-unit decrease in femoral neck BMD (OR: 4.55; 95% CI: 1.28, 16.67) and a 1-unit decrease in total spine BMD (OR: 6.25; 95% CI: 1.33, 33.33) were found to be associated with greater odds of low-frequency HL. Serum PTH and total calcium were not found to be associated with HL. CONCLUSIONS In the elderly, low vitamin D status was associated with low-frequency and speech-frequency HL. Low vitamin D status may be a potential risk factor for age-related HL.

Abstract
Patients with chronic renal failure often suffer from hearing loss and the most common cause is sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by cochlear otosclerosis with early symptoms such as decreased petrous part of the temporal bone density due to narrowing of the internal auditory canal. Finding a correlation between the petrous part of the temporal bone density and the anteroposterior diameter of the internal auditory canal in sensorineural hearing loss in patients with chronic renal failure. An observational analytic, cross-sectional study, using a consecutive sampling technique. The petrous part of the temporal bone density decreased in patients with chronic renal failure. The anteroposterior diameter of the internal auditory canal remained normal, there was no association with sensorineural loss. There is a significant correlation between the petrous part of the temporal bone density and sensorineural hearing loss in patients with chronic renal failure. High-resolution CT scans of the mastoid can assist clinicians in determining cochlear otosclerosis and the subsequent detection of the early presence of sensorineural hearing loss.

Abstract
CONTEXT The results of a previous population cohort study suggested an association between osteoporosis and sudden sensory neural hearing loss (SSNHL). OBJECTIVES To use a nationwide cohort in the Korean population to investigate the risk of SSNHL in patients with osteoporosis. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Data entered from 2002 to 2013 were collected from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort. A total of 68,241 patients with osteoporosis aged ≥50 years were matched with 68,241 control individuals. The crude (simple) and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of SSNHL in those with osteoporosis were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazard model. A subgroup analysis was performed according to age and sex. RESULTS The risk of SSNHL was greater in the osteoporosis group than in the control group (adjusted HR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.37 to 1.78; P < 0.001). The risk of SSNHL in those with osteoporosis was greater in patients aged <60 years, regardless of sex. Women aged ≥60 years had a higher HR for SSNHL in the presence of osteoporosis (women aged 60 to 69 years: adjusted HR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.34 to 2.08; P < 0.001; women aged ≥70 years: adjusted HR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.29 to 2.79; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The risk of SSNHL was greater for patients with osteoporosis aged ≥50 years. Middle-age adults, as well as the elderly, are at an increased risk of SSNHL in the presence of osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the audiological profiles in postmenopausal women with and without osteoporosis and to study the pattern of hearing loss in osteoporotic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS 80 postmenopausal women were evaluated at a tertiary referral center and were divided into normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic based on BMD results. The hearing evaluation was done using PTA, Impedance audiometry and DPOAE and the results were compared between the groups and analyzed. RESULTS Osteoporotic patients had higher incidence of sensorineural hearing loss than normal and osteopenic patients and the results were statistically significant (P ≤0.001) on PTA and DPOAE testing. The mean pure tone thresholds were significantly higher in osteoporotic patients in comparison with normal and osteopenic patients. The average hearing loss in osteoporotic patients with sensorineural loss was of mild degree. CONCLUSION The data reveal that osteoporosis is associated with sensorineural hearing loss in postmenopausal women. The underlying mechanism needs further research but cochlear dysfunction could be an important factor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To observe the hearing function around menopause, to analyze the effects of ovarian reserve and hormone therapy on hearing, and to study factors related to hearing loss among women around menopause. STUDY DESIGN In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 109 women around menopause aged 45-55 years, including 40 women with ovarian failure, 48 with ovarian non-failure, and 21 receiving hormone therapy. All women underwent an audiologic evaluation, and hormone blood testing was performed. The general condition, reproductive history, medical history, lifestyle, and menopausal symptoms were collected through a questionnaire. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The auditory threshold and anti-Mullerian hormone level. RESULTS Women in the ovarian failure group presented with a decreased hearing level in all frequency bands compared with those in the ovarian non-failure group; the significant differences occurred at 8000 Hz, 10 000 Hz, 12 500 Hz, and 16 000 Hz in the right-ear air conduction. The auditory threshold was lower in the hormone therapy group than in the ovarian failure group, but the difference was statistically significant only in the right-ear air conduction at 10 000 Hz. There were two risk factors for hearing loss: an anti-Mullerian hormone level <0.01 ng/mL (odds ratio [OR] = 2.624) and frequent earphone use (OR = 3.846). CONCLUSIONS A decline in ovarian function is associated with hearing loss in women, especially in relation to extended high-frequency air conduction of the right ear. Preserving ovarian function and reducing earphone use are important measures to protect women's hearing. However, the effect of hormone therapy on hearing requires further investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is inconclusive evidence whether osteoporosis increases risk of hearing loss in current literature. OBJECTIVE We conducted this meta-analysis to determine whether there is an association between hearing loss and osteoporosis. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted from studies of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and LILACS. Osteoporosis was defined as having a bone mineral density with a T-score of less than -2.5 standard deviation. The outcome was hearing loss as assessed by audiometry or self-reported assessment. Random-effects model and pooled hazard ratio, risk ratio, or odds ratio of hearing loss with 95% confidence intervals were compared between normal bone mineral density and low bone mineral density or osteoporosis. RESULTS A total of 16 articles underwent full-length review. Overall, there was a statistically significant increased odds of hearing loss in the low bone mineral density or osteoporosis group with odds ratio of 1.20 (95% confidence intervals 1.01-1.42, p=0.04, I2=82%, Pheterogeneity=0.01). However, the study from Helzner et al. reported significantly increase odds of hearing loss in the low bone mineral density in particular area and population included femoral neck of black men 1.37 (95% confidence intervals 1.07-1.76, p=0.01) and total hip of black men 1.36 (95% confidence intervals 1.05-1.76, p=0.02). CONCLUSION Our study proposed the first meta-analysis that demonstrated a probable association between hearing loss and bone mineral density. Osteoporosis could be a risk factor in hearing loss and might play an important role in age-related hearing loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previous studies examining the association between osteoporosis (OP) and hearing loss (HL) have shown conflicting results. The objective of the present study was to examine the association between hearing impairment and OP in postmenopausal women, using appropriate statistical analyses. METHODS Total 1,009 participants were included in the current study. The propensity score matched (PSM) cohort was defined as the cohort including participants diagnosed with OP and participants without OP. Three statistical models were developed where model 1 was unadjusted, model 2 included age, and model 3 included age, body mass index, alcohol intake, smoking habit, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride level, vitamin D, and alkaline phosphatase. RESULTS There were 776 and 233 participants in the groups diagnosed without and with OP, respectively. For propensity score matching, 233 pairs were selected from the 776 participants without OP. In the total cohort, using statistical models 2 and 3, no significant difference in the four hearing thresholds was identified between the 2 groups. Logistic regression indicated that, in model 3, participants with OP had a 1.128 (P=0.323) increased risk HL. A significant HL risk was not observed in participants with OP. Using statistical model 3, there were no significant associations among lumbar spine or femoral neck T-scores and changes in the hearing thresholds. In the PSM cohort, statistical models also showed similar results. CONCLUSION The current study did not demonstrate and association between bone mineral density and hearing impairment in the study population of postmenopausal Korean women.
